10-day Safari in Kenya & Tanzania - Fantastic Experience!
We recently went on a 10-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Big Time Safaris Ltd. The process from start to finish was fantastic. In the early planning process they helped us cater the tour to cover exactly where we wanted to go and package it to our budget and time constraint. The staff (especially Martha) was quick to respond to us and helpful in all communication. When we arrived, they were so friendly and made sure we were very comfortable throughout our stay. Our tour guide Wanjau was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and really made our trip a once in a lifetime experience. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for the best safari company.

He was the perfect travel companion.

A professional, reliable and helpful tour operator
I booked my Tanzanian safari through Safari Infinity after receiving 4 different quotes. I found Lucia, one of the owners, to be prompt and helpful with each communication. Throughout the process I was very pleased with the suggestions made and information provided. I felt that the safari itinerary overview provided detailed information about what to expect in each location.
Once in Tanzania we were thrilled to meet our guide, Kelly. He is a wonderful, expert guide who entertained us throughout our safari. We were met in Arusha by Kelly, and then later also met Lucia and Simon. This was a wonderful, personal touch that allowed us to put a face to the name.
Even while on safari Lucia was never far away; keeping in touch with Kelly to check on our progress (one day we just had to brag about all of the amazing things we had seen!), providing us with a credited mobile phone in case of emergency (which was highly valued as a family member needed to have a heart operation) and providing assistance to us even after our "safari" aspect of the trip concluded (we included Zanzibar and a fly-in visit to Selous).
We had some unforgettable moments while on safari, made even more special by sharing it with Kelly. As a guide he has been our favourite (we have also travelled in Kenya). He knows how to approach the animals to provide the best viewing and is also mindful of getting the best light to capture the best images. Kelly had a thorough knowledge of all the areas that we travelled to, resulting in us been the first ones to spot lions, leopards (male and female mated 3 times), jackal pups and cheetahs (mother and her cub playing and then Mum hunted for and caught breakfast).
For our safari we travelled to Arusha (2 nights), Tarangire (2), Ngorongoro Crater (2), Northern Serengeti (4), Zanzibar (5) and Selous (3 nights).
I would highly recommend you book with Safari Infinity and request Kelly as your guide. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing Experience, Excellent Guide
Me and my friends recently returned from a 3 Day Kruger Park Safari with Wild Wings Safaris. First of all, the booking was easy, I had many questions and changed options many times and they were always polite and friendly and quick to respond. The tour itself was incredible. Our guide Simon was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and even a great cook. I would recommend this company to all. I hope we get the change to go back and use Wild Wings Safaris again in the future.

Smart, friendly and hard-working!
Our 4 day, 3 night safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was fantastic. We combined some camping in the Serengeti with a stay in a terrific lodge in the Crater. Our driver/guide and our cook both did wonderful jobs. Warrior Expeditions owner -- Pasa -- also checked in on us and arranged for transportation to and from the Kilimanjaro airport. Highly recommended and good value for $ spent!

Unforgettable and fantastic trip - better than everything we could ever have imagined!
We've participated in a 12-Day Hwange and Mana Pools Parks safari trip with Mike Scott and his partner Bernard. We’ve spent 12 absolutely amazing and outstanding days in Hwange and Mana Pools: Tent camping (with camp cots, mattresses, duvets and pillows) with all imaginable amenities (from Birchermüesli and Nutella to excellently constructed bush shower/toilet) at really remote camping sites - particularly Chitake Spring Camp 3 and Croton Camp in Mana Pools were in complete wilderness; the first Mandavu picnic site camp in Hwange to a lesser degree - with only very few people but lots of game…! The mix of walking safaris and drive safaris was adjusted to the guests wish. To get an idea for interested visitors – here is the link for a video a former guest has uploaded: http://youtu.be/sfvT23_t7J8.
Mike Scott, a licensed tour operator, and Bernard who speaks various local languages including Ndebele, Shona and Chitonga were an excellent, super-friendly and very competent team. If inquiries are done in time, one can tailor one’s safari (duration, parks, remoteness etc.) completely.
We can absolutely recommend Khangela Safari to everybody wishing to visit beautiful Zimbabwe and to observe (and to walk into...) impalas, elephants, birds, hippos, leopards, giraffes, lions etc. The unique landscape combined with this fantastic team is an unforgettable experience in all respects.
We're already looking forward to coming back, not only but also for watching the spectacular sunsets while enjoying a cool lion beer under a majestic baobab :-)
Thank you, ngiyabonga, merci vylmol/vöumau!

Personalized tour with excellent guide, informative, welcoming and experienced.
We planned a 12 day safari and were extremely pleased with the services Savannah Tours provided. They were there to pick us up at the airport and stayed with us every step of the way until we headed back on to our flight for home. Our tour consisted off visits to Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Eyasi before heading over to Zanzibar and Stone town. The lodgings they recommended met or exceeded our expectations, and the pace of the tour with some lodges between our tented camps worked out very well. The staff at the camps were very attentive and helpful (we always felt safe even with elephants in the back yard), the food was excellent and the beds comfortable. Our photo safari was wonderful, we saw the big five plus so very much more. Our guide, Omari, seemed to have inside information about when that rhino would be in the neighborhood and when to wait and give the lions time to get up from their nap and hunt. How he could drive on those bumpy roads and still spot the animals is amazing (and shows how having an experienced guide makes all the difference). He had a bird book handy so was able to identify every bird our group spotted and was willing to stop for all of them. And when we excitedly pointed out "sightings", which frequently were only brush or such, he never made us feel silly. The visit to Stone Town helped us begin the return to an urban setting; and when flight changes gave us a long layover in Dar es Salaam the folks at Savannah Tours (at their own expense) reserved a day room at a lovely hotel so we could have a place to spend the time while waiting for our departure flight. It was an expensive vacation but we felt the money was well spent and will never forget this once in a lifetime experience and the folks who helped make it a success, Savannah Tours Limited.

An epical journey
My adorable twin gals wanted a great Christmas treat, the time was fast flying and their mother could not be given an off day, it is not in the nature of her work. We only had three days left to Christmas and at the same time we had do the booking before all the available spaces at the great Samburu Sopa were taken. We trusted in Bigmac Africa Safaris, they did not let us down. Everything was meticulously arranged, the roadtrip, the scenic view of the countryside on our way to samburu, taking selfies with my daughter at the Equator was a great experience to my gals, the sight of Mt Kenya was great. At the park, was the great experience, the birds, the lion, the giraffe, the leopard with its catch atop a tree...wow
This year BMAS will be flying us to the Seychelles, we are not changing our tour provider any time soon after all that great experience!
